"I hated running as a young person because it was punishment for mistakes while playing other sports."
This is SO TRUE, Gene. And I think why so many of us don't take it up again until later in life, when we're trying to get back in shape. After a childhood where it's used as a punishment, who would want to do it when they didn't have to?

I love that you've taken up the guitar! What style do you like/want to play?
I have played a few times in a small combo at my church. My favorite music is classic rock, especially The Beatles. I look for YouTube lessons and try whatever catches my eye. I play acoustic more than electric, mostly because it’s instant gratification that doesn’t require me to plug in my electric guitars and then have to be careful with the volume!
Go for it, definitely! There are damn few thrills in life like standing in front of a crowd and playing music. Terrifying, yes, but exhilarating all at once!

that "running as a punishment" really his home and I agree that's likely why i didn't take up running until 50!

Thanks for the encouragement, Justin! I'm working on it!
